SOCIAL STUDIES :: 2006 ::

KINDERGARTEN SELF AND FAMILIES AROUND THE WORLD

Students begin a global approach to social studies with a study of themselves,
their families, and other families around the world. They learn how individuals
and families grow and change and compare how they are alike and different.
Students approach the understanding of self and family while developing and
defining concepts about themselves and the family structure. They acquire
the concept that all families worldwide have basic common needs, yet meet
these needs in a variety of ways. Goals in kindergarten focus on developing
positive attitudes about themselves, their families, and families of diverse
cultures.
